Those photos suck... by kingrobot	Apr 20th, 2007 04:21:24 AM

Ledger by NudeandAroused	Apr 20th, 2007 04:21:54 AM
He will be the Joker? I hope that works.

Not finished make up. by wowsah156	Apr 20th, 2007 04:32:05 AM
The make up in that photo is nt finished. Its a decoy. I feel we will have to wait a while longer yet. But those clown masks really freak me out!!!
I'd say it'll be a while... by krodnoc	Apr 20th, 2007 04:34:25 AM
...before we see a proper Joker image. The WB probably don't want to give away their money shot so early. Then again some guy with a camera is bound to snap something on set.
Still finding it hard to picture Ledger as the Joker by KillaKane	Apr 20th, 2007 04:36:48 AM
He's diminutive, unassuming and not readily associated with anything as anarchic and as crazed (if his previous roles are anything to go by)as a tragi-comic-pychotic villain. He's a good actor, no denying that, and Nolan always makes great casting choices (thus far). It's going to be interesting seeing his take on the Joker, particularly the human dimensions and complexities in character that the Nolan bros will no doubt bring. After 'Begins' there's no other comic hero franchaise I look forward to more.

Yep, Spartacus... by TheRealMoriarty	Apr 20th, 2007 04:46:47 AM
... that's the image I hate like fucking poison now. Sent to me ten times a day like clockwork. AND IT'S NOT EVEN HEATH FUCKING LEDGER'S FACE. Tallboy, honestly, I don't really care what the poll says. I'm damned if I do, damned if I don't. I'll edit the stories I put up the way I see fit, and if all you want is someone to just slap things up without thinking about it, then I'm probably not ever going to satisfy you. It's not like you couldn't see the photos elsewhere if you reeeeeeally needed to. They were available. Vote if you want to, but it's not going to change my mind at all.
Aside from these blurry shots of the Joker.. by boyblue	Apr 20th, 2007 04:46:51 AM
..could I just say the other pictures that have filtered through of the Bank of Gotham, wow I really like the consistant set design that seems to be carried forward from BB.....and not a neon light in sight, Great stuff cant wait till some official pics come through....my gues though it will be around November-ish before this happens? Its going to be a long summer!
Dunst for Harley Quinn by jasper Stillwell	Apr 20th, 2007 04:58:20 AM
Agreed really - this is no way to see how the Joker's going to pan out in the finished film so I'm going to wait until those first official photos are released. I have to say though I'd trust Nolan with my kids, inheritance and girlfriend on what he's made to date but I am wondering whether this 'downplaying' of the villains here may undermine the character slightly - or whether he's going to stay true here and that we're going to get the totally whacked-out, scary and psychotic Joker we've been waiting for. I'm hearing Alex DeLarge/Killing Joke/Man Who Laughs refs being thrown around by all involved - which bodes very well indeed. I do feel from the photo that Ledger looks a little too beefy for my ideal Joker, but I'll hang fire here....I always was curious to see what a young Mark McKinney would have done with the part. Physically he was right and the guy can play just about anything in my book.
He's Okay. by LordEnigma	Apr 20th, 2007 05:01:38 AM
Throw in some digital colour timing that will add the requisite mood, and this representation of the Joker will work. I do like that he has the torn and tattered look. Yeah, it sort of comes from various comics and THE BATMAN, but Joker should be dirty. She should never be clean-clean.
I, for one, love the photo by Virtual Satyr	Apr 20th, 2007 05:02:38 AM
Sure..we don't get much..but just his pose there and seeing how his hair looks, I can picture the rest. Ledger has a wicked smile and I can see him being a fantastic "Killing Joke", sadistic, humorous Joker.
TallBoy, I vote A by BannedOnTheRun	Apr 20th, 2007 05:10:49 AM
I don't say this to make Moriarty cranky (no one wants Moriarty cranky), but I've been checking out AICN for a long time, and crappy spy pics and reviews of leaked scripts were the site's raison d'etre. And for a site that's forever removing pics "on request of Sony" et al, it does sound a bit disingenuous to say, "I'd prefer to wait for the official studio photos." Gosh, I just used a bunch of fancy words!

not Jok(er)ing by filmcoyote	Apr 20th, 2007 05:23:41 AM
That's not the Joker, that's Ledger chatting on set before make-up and costuming. His hair is green because they've dyed it rather than go with a hair-piece. This is a pointless picture. Nolan won't let us down anyway so I'll wait for the movie to come out to see Joker reinvented.
Would of prefered Justin Theroux by Spartacus Hughs	Apr 20th, 2007 05:24:01 AM

Wow, it's a balding guy with remains of green hair! by JackPumpkinhead	Apr 20th, 2007 05:24:18 AM
And he's much fatter and shorter than the Joker ought to be! Amazing! Can't wait to see the rest of this wonderful film. Hopefully the Hulkhoganmobile returns, too.
Banned, You Rotten... by TheRealMoriarty	Apr 20th, 2007 05:24:37 AM
... no, just kidding. Like I said, I really did think about this. And in the end, less than 12 hours after they showed up in the first place, here's a talkback for you. But I still think the photos kind of stink. And this isn't just any story. This is The Joker. I know I don't go on and on about Batman here, but Batman is my favorite comic book character, and The Joker is my favorite villain, bar none. So it's not that I want only "official studio photos." I just want good photos. Sue me for being picky on this one.

The pics are so-so, the masks had a bit of my interest though, but they do appear to be for his thugs anyway. Can't wait for some good pictures of this... really expecting a great script from John and Chris. I'm still hanging on the idea that Goyer's participation, while he must have helped Nolan's vision of Begins, it seemed most likely that Goyer was responsible for all the campy one-liners and cheesy jokes in Begins that felt out of place and took me out of the movie. "I gotta get me one of those" anyone?
For the Joker by Captain RawBeard	Apr 20th, 2007 05:47:58 AM
I would have prefered Christian Slater for the Joker. You may now tear me apart but I think he could play Crazy and has a wicked evil smile. Anyhoo to late now. Hope they sort the fights out in this film. Batman Begins was great but the fighting was muddled and confusing and you never knew who was hitting who.
"I just want good photos." by BannedOnTheRun	Apr 20th, 2007 05:52:12 AM
Well yeah, the photos suck. I took some semi-OK pics when Spidey 3 was filming here, but I was too afraid to send them in. Of course, some other knob sent in his photos and was pummeled mercilessly: WOW! IT'S A TRUCK! On a STREET! Still, I think that's the charm of the site: the timeless archetypical conflict between movie geeks and studio security. Who doesn't love to stick it to The Man? (And it's fun now to see those crappy blue screen spy pics showing up in the Die Hard 4 trailer... hmmm... looks like a fighter jet and an overpass...)
And I'll say it just one more time by BannedOnTheRun	Apr 20th, 2007 05:54:00 AM
Ceasar Romero was an absolutely friggin' awesome joker. The laugh, the facial expressions... how about some of that Brando CGI magic?

Not for nothing... by akaTwoSheds	Apr 20th, 2007 06:02:16 AM
I know this is something like two years too late, but I recently saw a rerun of an old "Law & Order: SVU" with Martin Short as the special guest villan. Holy cow can he be one creepy insane looking little pup. He even has the Joker grin down pat without requiring stone masons to mortar his lower jaw into position.

Why wouldn't you post them? by Franklin T Marmoset	Apr 20th, 2007 06:23:06 AM
I know I'm only a recent poster, but I've read this fine site on and off for years - back to the Kenneth Brannagh is Obi Wan days. It seems to me, this is exactly the type of picture AICN ought to be publishing. Why so reticent now? Me, I don't care that it's not a clear image. I am a nerd, and I will look at whatever garbage you show me. I demand to see blurry mobile phone shots and phony photoshop fakery!
a bit weird... by tile_mcgillus	Apr 20th, 2007 06:23:43 AM
Yeah those pictures are horrible. And you can't really judge what Nolan is doing wih the joker accurately. However, after running similiar stuff to this, what is the difference? Is it just that we want DK to be amazing and these shots don't lean that way? If someone had a blurry pic of Nic Cage wearing a skull helmet with fake fire on it, would you run it? What is the distinction? Not trying to be an ass just wondering how you define the line.
I doubt that's even the full make-up. by CoursinLarry	Apr 20th, 2007 06:33:08 AM
There doesn't appear to be anything done to his face. The only thing that's out of the ordinary is that (most of) his hair is green. That can't be the finished product.

Moriatry Made The Right Call by Sean38	Apr 20th, 2007 06:53:10 AM
I'm with M on this one. This is AINT IT COOL NEWS. There's nothing especially cool about that photo. It's blurry and the makeup isn't even finished. That's not The Joker. It's Heath Legder with a green tint in his hair. Not cool.
Good call, Mori by Bobo_Vision	Apr 20th, 2007 06:53:21 AM
It would only result in widespread talkback panic attacks as people ponder their loss of faith in Nolan since the images don't live up to their standards, and then they would look at his track record and whether he's lost his touch, or whether Ledger was the wrong choice, and so forth. Good call.
those masks by Kage	Apr 20th, 2007 07:02:43 AM
might just be for the Joker, himself. Heath made a reference in an interview to "wearing masks," and while i suspected he meant that in a metaphorical sense, i also wondered if Nolan's real-world aesthetic might have the Joker behind a clown mask.

that its Emily Blunt. To play Dr. Harley Quinzel. It was offered to Maggie Gyllenhall but since she was offered and took the part of Rachel Dawes, she had to turn down the role of Harley Quinzel. According to Dark Horizons, Emily blunt is now in talks to play that role.

Harley Quinn by cameron1975willi	Apr 20th, 2007 07:39:50 AM
Somebody said: 'Dunst as Harley Quinn', that's not a bad choice, but having done Siderman she probably wouldn't wanna do it anyway. How 'bout some crazy casting; like Winona Ryder? No, hear me out. She has the requisite killer bod, so she'll slink about nicely in that suit. She's a helluva actress and can do 'crazy' really well. And before you say she's too old, Michelle Pfeiffer was the older when she did Catwoman. Bale and Ryder have worked together before and have good chemistry. What do you guys think?
Seen the pics by Boondock Devil	Apr 20th, 2007 07:40:57 AM
It's definately not the whole make-up job. I think I remember hearing Ledger say that the Joker was going to have greyish skin. Creepiest photo ever are the boxes of messed-up clown heads. The hell?
Too soon! Too silver! by Fecal Debris	Apr 20th, 2007 07:45:54 AM
They should put Joker in a suit with flames on it. I'm just as excited as anyone to check out some images from the new Batman, but with these...no offense, but it just isn't enough to bother with. You can't even tell it's Ledger. And those mask-head things could be anything, wig holders, whatever. He should wear a suit jacket with flames, or embroidered nipples, just because.

Reese Witherspoon... by cyanide christ	Apr 20th, 2007 07:52:09 AM

I think Ledger will be able to play the Joker just fine. I'm looking forward to the first trailer/teaser just to see him in action and how he sounds. Still really don't think Harley's going to be in the movie (unless there's a Dr. Harlene Quinzel appearance) so why all the speculating? Oh yeah... Anna Farris for Harley. Dammit...speculation.
Did you see those heads the PAs were carrying? by Dasher	Apr 20th, 2007 08:05:45 AM

Doesnt that beat the purpose of this site? by WolfmanNards	Apr 20th, 2007 08:08:18 AM
I thought this site was about inside news, sneak peeks, scoops and other info from rebels and guerilla cameramen who want to feed an ever curious mass of geeks who crave information that the studios aren't ready to give us yet. This is the same site, that, months before batman begins was released, posted a cheap, low quality amateur shot video of batman sitting atop a sky scraper which was shot from the top of a different skyscraper. You could barely see anything. Just enough to go "uh... yeah, I guess that is batman" but it was still cool. Whatever, aintitcoolnews. Regardless of the low quality joker pics, from what you can see, he looks like a bad joker, still. I read online somewhere (NOT ON THIS SITE) that they intend to have him with GREY skin with SCARS. I think that's a bad choice for the super literal, overly expositive christopher nolan. The next movie, I predict is gonna be 2 hours of explaining how batman's boots work. We'll see one of the factory workers who made a set of his boots. Follow him home to his sick wife. Then there will be a 20 minute setup on the system batman uses to defecate inside the suit. And any other things that ruin the image and ground something that's supposed to be mysterious and fantastical.
SpyGuy by cyanide christ	Apr 20th, 2007 08:10:49 AM
Scarlett would be nice; I can definitely see that. Witherspoon was the first one to pop in my head though, so it's going to be hard to get past her. Plus she's just so spunky and adorable. I guess it would just depend on which way they would go with if the character (if they even use her).
How about some future casting? by Boondock Devil	Apr 20th, 2007 08:12:24 AM
Riddler - Edward Nortan Bane - Vin Diesel Poison Ivy - Jenna Fischer Talia Al Ghul - Rachel Weiss Penguin - Bob Hoskins The Bookworm and King Tut... maybe I'll cast them later.
Boondock by cyanide christ	Apr 20th, 2007 08:14:21 AM

Hopefully this isn't a Joker orgin movie by Boondock Devil	Apr 20th, 2007 08:15:52 AM
Here's to hoping that it's just a wonderful Batman v Joker film. Grey skin and scars. Kind of sounds like the last time Grant Morrison wrote the Joker in his current Batman run. If he looks anything like that in the movie it'll be pretty damn creepy.
Ahh, AICN is growing up... by Style_92	Apr 20th, 2007 08:16:22 AM
Why all the bitching about not posting the picture? you know, an organization is allowed to grow and mature, and that can mean raising it's standards. I mean, all this "well you WOULD'VE posted it years ago" is like if your parents called you and said, "You know, when you were two you used to shit your pants all the time. But not so much lately. How come?"

Britney Murphy for Harley Quinn by badboymason	Apr 20th, 2007 08:16:50 AM
If anyone has seen "Drive" (the Mark Dacascos movie, not the new show) she plays a perfect cute/slightly unhinged/hysterically excited character that is only a hair away from the Harley of Batman the Animated Series.

Patrick Stewart for Mr. Freeze, definitely. I think SMG would be great for Harley; great voice, good look matching up with Heath Ledger. I think Rose McGowan might be a good Poison Ivy....I'd love to see Huntress or Batgirl, but I don't have a clue who to cast for them.

Issues over characters. by wowsah156	Apr 20th, 2007 08:48:59 AM
There is no Harley Quinn you dicks. The continuity hasnt even got to Robin yet never mind Quinn. So leave it be. The killer photos we are looking for is: 1 The Joker in full regalia .2: The modified "Tumbler" (more tank or more NASCAR?)3 Changes in the Batsuit? Hope not. The suit is perfect has it is.4 Shot of Harvey Dent towards the end of the shoot. Remember Dent gets disfigured by The Joker at his trial. And thats the next movie. so again stop phucking ranting about Quinn, she a shit character compared to the main Rogues Gallery.

I appreciate the judgement call not to post, but c'mon. by isispop	Apr 20th, 2007 09:28:57 AM
I can understand from the quality after seein them of deciding not to post...but to agree with some of the other posts, that is one of the points of the site, right? Besides the reviews, we come to get the scoops. To see those first pics here as opposed to somewhere else. That excitement of seein it first and talkin back w/fellow geeks over any scrap. Now, for the judgement based on what I could see...I like that his jacket is not too loud & overstated & cartoony. It looks like some mental patient just decided to paint his face & be a clown...which is how it should look. I know you can't see much (at first I even thought the open mouth was a goatee) but I trust Nolan & co's judgement on a realistic take. I loved the first one, so I'm hopin we see the character in that same grounded realm. As long as he's a real crazy person and not some wisecracking loon w/a big mallet that has a boxing glove that pops out...I'll be happy w/it.

Those masks are for the Joker's gang. by riskebiz	Apr 20th, 2007 09:50:52 AM
Did I read that Nolan's take on the Joker might not necessarily have him in the clown white skin? It looked like Ledger had died green hair, some powder on his face and black lipstick. Not exactly what I would EVER want the Joker to look like, but hopefully this pic was pre-makeup.

Do you like what I there? Anyway, I would like to keep Batman films free of shitty vampire slayer actresses. I can understand the love for her I guess. I mean, my wife likes her...but she's a girl.
RighteousBrother by Boondock Devil	Apr 20th, 2007 10:02:22 AM
C'mon man, I'd say that Adam West and Bale have slightly different body types. In other words, Batman won't have a beer gut. Plus I think the dark grey works pretty well if there's a lot of black to go with it ala the cape/cowl/goves and symbol. As far as the tumbler, I believe they're going to Shumacher it and throw on a lot of dayglow lamps.
About the masks, by Turd Furgusen	Apr 20th, 2007 10:05:55 AM
are we sure they are for the goons? What if Joker is trying these on in some scene before he becomes disfigured? Just a thought.
Ultimately Mori you did the right thing by IndustryKiller!	Apr 20th, 2007 10:15:17 AM
When I sa the pictures I felt probably the same way you did, sort of "Yay" and then immediately followed by "Argh!". But I really think its up to AICN to print the story they have, not the story they want. And this is quite a story. Especially since an oficial studio pic could be months away from fruition. So just for the record if think is all ya got, print it. It may be frustrating but it sort of adds to the suspense.

Cyanide Christ is right... Gellar sucks. by ZeroCorpse	Apr 20th, 2007 10:23:20 AM
She is a worse actress than Jessica Alba, and Alba's pretty piss-poor. Gellar has never gotten over her soap opera training, and she still acts like she's on daytime TV somewhere between Judge Judy and the six o'clock news, with her only serious competition being Susan "didn't get a daytime emmy because she's a really crappy actress and not because she was being snubbed" Lucci. Please, leave everyone and everything that has anything to do with Buffy out of a Batman movie. There are better, cuter, more nimble minxes out there. I don't think I could take a couple hours of Gellar's horrible voice.
according to Heath Ledger... by tango fett	Apr 20th, 2007 10:26:21 AM
It was on comingsoon.net a while back, but Ledger said something about how the Joker would be more like Alex in A Clockwork Orange, that kind of crazy. Which I think is awesome personally, more crazy than funny, but sorta goofy nonetheless. Retorts?
Green hair. Check. White make-up with red lips? by Boondock Devil	Apr 20th, 2007 10:27:51 AM

It just pisses you off to think what might've been. As far as I'm concerned Jack's verions of Joker back in the day was kind of goofy in my opinion. I love Superman ,but to me Hackman was not the definitive Luthor. I guess what i'm saying is that i'm really interested to see where Nolan's going with this. Batman Begins was an out of the park knock out on all levels, this new film can only be better.

They're going in the right direction by kafka07	Apr 20th, 2007 10:51:28 AM
I totally understand you're not wanting to see these photos, and that you'd prefer to see something clearer. But this is Batman and I can't be patient. Besides, I think there's enough to talk about from these photos, and really suggests some interesting things about the Joker, and maybe his henchman too. I am hoping the Joker does have some sort of real, exaggerated smile, with the help of make-up, and not just from these clown masks. I've heard the Joker will be facially "scarred" in this film. I didn't think they would go with the green hair, but glad that they are. And his skin seems kind of pale and creepy. Something is going on wth the mouth/lips, but hard to make out what exactly. The masks will be for the Joker and his gang. I think the character will be impish, creepy and intimidating, and that Ledger will pull this off no problem. Adrian Brody couldn't do this; physically he looks a bit like the comic Joker but the film needs someone who can match Christian Bale in terms of size and presence.

I'm stoked for this film and can't wait for that first officially picture of Joker for all of us to drool over. Nolan said that this Joker is going to be a lot scarier so there is nothing to worry about, folks. Regarding Robin, I agree, Batman works better alone and Nolan has laughed at questions regarding Robin saying right now - in the film's continuity - Robin is still pretty much an infant.
Ledger Can't Pull It Off? by baddaddy	Apr 20th, 2007 11:02:41 AM
I keep hearing people say that Ledger can't pull off a truly manic character on screen. HE ALREADY HAS! Seriously, go pick up the Lords of Dogtown. He plays Skip, the bizzar, strung out, manic founder of the Zepher Skate team. I didn't recognise him until 1/2 way thru the film. I couldn't imagine him as Mr. J until I saw him in Lords, but it made me a believer. Also, has anyone heard anything about the surgically altered smile the Joker may sport in this flick?

He's also missing Joker's lipstick, eyebrows, etc. Or maybe he's in complete makeup but their shooting a scene where he is creating the Joker personna? Who knows what the fuck is going on... but I wanna see the official studio glamour shots, too. These aren't really worth looking at.

This kind of self-important diatribe drives me up a wall. Of course we all in part read AICN for the commentary, but first and formemost, we want the inside scoop. It's FUN to have crappy spy photos. Dark Knight spy info should have nothing to do with Moriarty's battle with his inner-demons. This post is ridiculous. JoBlo and SHH beat AICN to awesome stuff pretty much daily these days. (Or AICN favors the studio and holds it back) Why we got a boring explanation THIS time, as opposed to all the others, is not clear to me.
What is the point? by CorpseRide	Apr 20th, 2007 11:31:28 AM
Of this site? Tell you what, wait until Variety runs the Joker on the cover. Then print the pics. That way you'll have access to some top-quality photos. Also, don't review it until the special editition dvd comes out. That way you'll have had a chance to properly mull the movie over. In other news, can anyone recommend a good spoiler site for movies? There used to be one called AICN, but it doesn't seem to be running any more.

Ledger is SERIOUSLY losing all of his hair. They might as well have gotten Nicolas Cage. Hell, at least Cage looks more like the Joker and has tons of experience playing crazy! Hiring a guy whose most memorable role is playing a gay sheepherder is — pardon the pun — a JOKE.

I felt like i was gonna get a siezure in the last fight sequence with all the closeups and edits. I have always disliked Heath Ledger. I thnk he's an overated actor and quite frankly a snob (if u remember he was once rumored attached to spiderman but thought it was beneath him). The joker is not a "pretty boy". I just don't see how he can pull it off plus he was WAAAAAAY overated in brokeback mountain.

A much as the look matters, I'm more looking forward to the laugh. The first teaser will never show the Joker. Picture Batman, Harvey and the Commish talking about the Joker, car chase shots, Dent in the courtroom, an explosion or 4, the new batcave/batmobile/batsuit... then the fade to black with the sound of the Joker laughing. Just hearing the laugh would be as good as any picture right now.

YET this sniper photographer found a spot somehow, and must have had to sit there and wait for heath to come out. that alone gets points. as for the way he looks, he looks like joker. green hair, white skin. i PRAY they fix the fight scenes in this movie, because the first movie was shot too close, and you missed all the kung fu, ruining all the choreography work.

JESUS H CHRIST by avs28785	Apr 20th, 2007 12:58:30 PM
like moriarty said the flippen image is to blurred to make out any detail other than the fact he has green hair. The flippin masks are not for the joker they are for his henchman. I am sure everyone saw the bank shots and school bus through the wall. They also have photos up of like four men wearing those masks presumably robbing the bank with the joker. BOF also has some eyewitness acounts that Heath is also wearing a clown mask but takes it off and doesn't have any makeup in the bank. Flashback? most likely... Nolan loves to use flashbacks. I think he does it really well. I have complete faith in Nolan. His treatment of Batman has been respectful and serious and i happen to fucking love that. All we can do now is speculate but don't anyone get their panties in a twist over blurred images. I am with Moriarty on this one. If you really need to see the pics like i did, you simply click the motha fuckin link.

Re: Re: Hey Angry Golfer... by Double-Oh	Apr 20th, 2007 01:58:27 PM
"Your original post was meant to be conveyed as "Raimi working on Spiderman 4, 5 & 6" I guess you don't understand how to read. I said he confirmed that there will be a Spiderman 4, 5 and 6 and yes, that is news. A confirmation means that it's a go. That's a far cry from speculating that there will be more. The only confirmation that the studios were going ahead with a Spider-Man sequel is that a 4th was greenlit, not a 5th and 6th.
Jeez... by Frijole	Apr 20th, 2007 02:07:11 PM
It is not speculation. There has been zero doubt that the studio is going to continue the series. They've said so numerous times in the past. And this isn't even the first time that Raimi has said that they are. Every time someone asks him if he's going to continue the series he says something to the effect of "the studio is going to continue the series, but I still don't know if I'll be involved". So again... no, that is NOT news.

Re: Jeez by Double-Oh	Apr 20th, 2007 02:15:32 PM
"There has been zero doubt that the studio is going to continue the series." I guess you haven't been keeping up with the news then. The president of Sony Pictures a while back said she wanted the 3rd to wrap up the current story arc because they were unsure that they were going ahead with a 4th. Now, you can say of course they are going ahead with another film (and I would agree that they would be fools not to), but your speculation isn't news, what the people who are involved with it say IS.

Zhang Ziyi would make a good BATGIRL. Jude Law would be a fantastic RIDDLER. Scarlet might be a decent original BATGIRL, but I'm not sure she can be tough enough. Martin Short would be the perfect MAD HATTER. Patrick Stewart as the CLOCK KING, or MR FREEZE (the best Mr Freeze was the deathly serious one from the Animated Series, Stewart has got it in spades). OR Ben Kingsley as MR FREEZE, or the CLOCK KING. Or Jonathan Pryce for the VENTRILOQUIST or the CLOCK KING. I would definitely like to see Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson as BANE. Andy Serkis would be a good PENGUIN. Angelina Jolie for CATWOMAN or possibly POISON IVY. Actually, Diane Lane, or someone similar could work as POISON IVY. Michael Massee as ZSASZ. Will Arnett for CLAYFACE. Mickey Rourke as KILLER CROC. James Spader as BLACK MASK. If we're really reaching for characters, Brad Pitt as HUSH.

fight scenes by just pillow talk	Apr 20th, 2007 02:42:19 PM
are better than those of Burton's Batman. Those were comical. Oh look, Batman is trying to do a kung fu move...karate chop! I think they work the way they are done here, showing them to be close, brutal, and not neat and concise. With the warehouse scene, they tried to show him as someone who just picked them off one by one, quick hitters. Someone who actually installed fear into the bad guys. After all, Bale is no Jet Li.
I'd rather see Michael Emerson as the Ventriloquist by iamnicksaicnsn	Apr 20th, 2007 02:43:52 PM
That's a great bit of casting there. He's definitely squirrelly enough for it.
Wow by leavittj1982	Apr 20th, 2007 02:47:28 PM
So they really did go with the green hair after all huh? Wow. Y'know, when you consider how Batman Begins ended, and how the Joker's origin begins, it only makes sense to suspect that the Red Hood character is being replaced with a skull-clown character. Otherwise, there is a break in the continuity of the two films. Regarding Joker's look, I'm a little impressed. I must admit, I had been worried that he really would be in tatters throughout the film. But seeing him in a long black trench coat with a blue shirt underneath reassures me that we do not have to fear seeing the bare-footed monstrosity featured in the newest animated versions. Now, the seemingly long hair in the photo does trouble me a little bit. Whenever I think of what a perfect translation on film would look like, I remember http :/ / ww w.alexross.c om/ CP1273_Tango_with_Evil.j pg

fight scenes by jinnjab	Apr 20th, 2007 02:51:14 PM
i wasn't wholly satisfied with Burton's nor Nolan's, a good fight scene should be integrated to the overall story with a high degree of suspense and dynamics, and somehow I feel the outcome should affect the characters in some way, sorry I just thought they were flat and meaningless in "Begins", and the choreography was incoherent, ideally, I am thinking of a scene like the flying wing scene in "Raiders"

Enough with Crispin Glover already! by flossygomez	Apr 20th, 2007 02:58:16 PM
That was the problem with 1989 Batman, Jack Nicholson played Jack Nicholson. Crispin only knows how to play Crispin. I would keep expecting him to call Batman, Biff. Ledger will actually disappear into the character and subsume himself. That is what needs to happen.
they work for me... by just pillow talk	Apr 20th, 2007 03:00:34 PM
but I do understand why a lot of people have a problem with the fight scenes. I will be curious to see how he approaches them in this movie and if they are using the coordinators/choreographers in Dark Knight...
EdRyder by cyanide christ	Apr 20th, 2007 03:06:02 PM
I think that Quinn could be pulled off in a way that is not "nipples on the Batsuit". If they portray the character as someone who sympathizes with the Joker having studied him at Arkham and leave it at that then it could work. I am not in favor of having her bouncing around all slapstick style but I would like to see her as a serious character who becomes more and more obsessed with the Joker.
RE: Crispin Glover by Mr. Nice Gaius	Apr 20th, 2007 03:08:15 PM
He may look good as a particular incarnation of the Joker, but he just flat out does not have the chops for the roll. Can you imagine: "Hey! Hey...you. I can kick!" Yeah right. Thank the gods he is not in this film.
You all really want Quinn? by GOB Adama	Apr 20th, 2007 03:11:34 PM
To answer your question, Ed, for myself: No, I can live w/o her in this series of films. HOWEVER, this is the sort of thing geek fueds can explode over. To many, she has become an integral part of modern 'Joker lore' and they feel strongly about her being there. Others see her as an animated interloper. Me? I don't really care one way or the other. But the weekend is upon us and my wife will be out of town... and, well... Putting various actresses in that outfit is a nice little refill on the old 'spank bank'. ;)

I think people are quick to make their drean cast based only on appearance. Hell, I've done it myself. You have to look at their acting skills. The only time that I can think of where casting was done on looks first that worked was Patrick Stewart as Prof. X. But everybody knew that was going to work.

Nothing's ever good enough by Napoleon Park	Apr 20th, 2007 03:22:24 PM
So basically "there are pictures going around of a popular character from a popular franchise. but they're not good pictures. so we're not running them but here's a link so you can see them." Or you could run them with the same caveat: "These came in and they're not good but if we didn't run them you'd want to know why the other place had them first." I'd say running them with the critique would be simpler - but only really easier for the user by one click, so it's no big deal either way. *** I don't care who plays the Joker as long as his voice is dubbed in by Laurence Fishborne.

Here's what they're gonna do... by leavittj1982	Apr 20th, 2007 03:28:25 PM
They're going to color his skin grey, his hair green, dress him up like a typical top-dog thug complete with trench coat, and leave it at that. No way does falling into a vat of chemicals elongate your chin and break only a few muscles in your face. It's quite obvious in the photo that he's not going to have that ridiculous permanent grin on his face from Batman 1. Remember, Nolan's trying to keep this series as realistic as possible. Things like men turning into bats, acid eating away at people's faces but only turning their hair white, grey spandex, women capable of giving sentience to plantlife, and little boys in brightly colored "I'm right here, shoot me" outfits just is not going to happen in this series.

I could see Firefly being a future villain in a series like this. Some others that I could see are the Penguin (as a 2nd class villain, anyway); Catwoman (1st class); Poison Ivy (a 1st class villain if they re-imagine her character as that of a environmentalist extremist with a degree in making poisons, who's body is infected with a spore that she created herself [a la Dr. Octopus] that slowly drives her batty); Talia al Ghul (2nd or 3rd class); Harley Quinn (what can I say? she's great as Joker's love); Bane (1st-class, possibly 2nd); (By the way, it's a surprise to me that NOBODY seems to have noticed Victor Zsasz's cameo in BB. He's a 3rd-class villain, but it was still nice to see him in a movie.)

Some may know him as Claude from Heroes or the 9th Doctor from Doctor Who, but that actor would be the picture perfect cinematic version of The Joker.

THIS IS HOW THE JOKER WILL COME TO BE... by Err	Apr 20th, 2007 07:47:54 PM
Joker (as normal guy) commits crimes using a clown mask and leaves behind a Joker card as his "calling card." When he encounters Batman, he'll fall into the vat of chemicals with the mask on. When he rips the mask off, escaping the chemicals, he will reveal the Joker face we know and will still leave his Joker calling card behind. Sort of RED HOOD but with a clown mask instead.
Amy Acker? SMJ? by lynxpro	Apr 20th, 2007 07:48:22 PM
She's not shaped like Harley Quinn from the toon or the comics. If there's any actress from the Whedonverse to cast for that role - or just about any other female comic role - that would be Charisma Carpenter. Heck, if you want an actress with the right mouth for the role - but wrong accent - I'd say Billie Piper. Although my preference would be for Kate Winslet or Jemima Rooper. As for Talia Al Ghul, that role better go to either Monica Bellucci or Rachel Weisz, with Bellucci preferred. As for the "Jokerz" from BB, they always gave me a Club Kids vibe.

Here's all you needed to say: "We and some other fan sites have gotten some photos allegedly of Heath Ledger made up as Joker. If it's him-- which it might not even be-- he's not in makeup except for a little splash of green on his hair. Consequently, we are not going to bother putting up the lame-o shots which you will undoubtedly see hyped elsewhere. When someone has an actual shot, we'll let you know." That pretty much covers it without a bunch of wank about how much Joker means to you and how you thought about this as hard as NBC thought about airing Cho's manifesto.

Which I think shows a testament to Bane's true evilness and powers as a #1 villain that was totally disgraced in shumaccer's 'batman and robin.' I mean firefly is worst kind of pyromaniac. He doesn't give a shit about batman, he just likes to burn things and blow things up. If that's not as crazy and cool as the joker I dont know what is. "The roar and crackle, The glorious light.

Alright, bravo for doing the right thing by not posting the images of The Joker, Mo. Seriously, having seen them elsewhere earlier in the morning, I can agree that these pictures only make me want to see a clear image of what Heath is going to look like quickly rather than having everyone and their mothers post the blurred image of Heath walking between trailers. And for those that don't like Heath as the choice for The Joker. No, I agree he hasn't played anyone close to as dark or crazy as The Joker is, but in all honesty, he physically fits the bill of the Frank Miller version of The Joker better than anyone else that had been mentioned. The Joker in Frank Miller's books was a monster of a man physically and mentally, and Heath isn't a small guy. Now I can't speak for his acting chops and how they'll be applied to the character, but everyone role he has taken along the way has done nothing but challenge him more and more as an actor and stretch his limits. Nolan and company know what they are doing. They know that the source material is considered some of the canon of superhero universe. They didn't screw up Batman Begins, which could have easily been done. That said, The Dark Knight is most highly anticipated movie of 2009 in my books, higher than Avatar and whatever else is planned.

Hmmm..... by The True Priapic	Apr 21st, 2007 02:19:43 PM
I've seen the photos and they really do add an awful lot of fuel to the fire in the discussion about how Nolan is going to present the Joker.Personally I like the idea that it's "in the eyes",in that this is a guy you don't want to even make eye contact with he's so fucking nuts.Intersting as well that they may be going with the idea of him already being on the wrong side of the law as opposed to a patsy taht is pushed so over the edge he doesn't so much as crack as shatter.Certainly the fact that masks again will be used at the beginning may hint at a mask as something Bruce CAN take off but after (whatever happens) Joker is maimed,disfuged he no longer needs his as he has no way to go back.Thus virtually unsavable.To my mond I think Nolan is going with the look of Miller's Joker from DKR.Wild hair,normal face-just white with lippy.It's certainly interesting-I understand not putting them on this site but surely everyone can admit there's a genuine thrill to seeing photos early.Even if they're crappy.I just want the Joker to be nuts and portrayed as someone you want to be NOWHERE near.I'll freely admit that I would like hime to have white skin and green hair.Why?Ahh,you know why!

They're describing him as raggedy,with a scarred up face, having gray skin and being scary as shit. As long as he doesn't dance around in an art museum, I'm good. The purists will bitch, sure, but if they haven't learned by now they're tards.
